High blood pressure is sometimes called the “silent killer” and is feared by many people. According to the 2017 American Heart Association guidelines: blood pressure Measured in a quiet, undisturbed state, one is considered to be suffering from: high blood pressure (high blood pressure).
Once diagnosed, simply lowering blood pressure is not the only goal. Equally important is finding the cause. When the cause is resolved, the “silent killer” will instead become the “assistant” and inform you of your health status.
There are several causes of high blood pressure. Anger, nervousness, fear, stiff shoulders, cold, etc.
1. How to solve high blood pressure caused by anger and stressful environment
Even watching television can be emotionally charged, triggering outward expressions of anger, such as blushing, swollen neck, and throwing tantrums. This phenomenon is caused by hyperactivity of sympathetic nerves and constriction of peripheral blood vessels. In this condition, the blood cannot deliver oxygen directly to the whole body, resulting in high blood pressure.
In the past, there was a patient in his 50s who was slightly overweight and whose blood pressure was always around 200. After treatment her blood pressure dropped to her 140 or 150. Hu cured my blood pressure problem. ”
At that time, I told her, “I didn’t cure your hypertension, you cured it yourself.” how? “The medicine I prescribed for you is a medicine that calms down your emotions. It will heal naturally. ”
2 Tea that calms emotions and lowers blood pressure
The following two teas will help you calm your emotions and achieve a calm and happy mood.
chrysanthemum tea
Put 10 chrysanthemums in a mug and brew with hot water. Yellow, white, wild chrysanthemum, anything is fine. When the chrysanthemums have soaked enough, swelled, and started to smell, drink the tea. Add a touch of licorice or goji berries to make the drink more appealing and increase your desire to drink more.
licorice jujube decoction
This is one of the remedies for the above patient.
In a pot of 1500cc (about 3.2 pints) of water, boil 4 mace (about 0.52 ounces) of licorice, 1 tail of wheat (about 1.33 ounces) and 12 red jujubes, until 1000cc (about 2.1 pints) remain. Reduce. I drink it every day as a tea.
Note: It is best to choose ‘floating wheat’, that is, wheat that has been stored for a longer period of time.
Exercise daily to increase your happiness index
Exercise softens the blood vessels, and when the peripheral vessels dilate, blood can pass through them more efficiently and at the same time, cholesterol can be flushed out of the blood vessels. Additionally, during exercise, the brain produces hormones called endorphins, the so-called “happiness hormones”. This makes people feel happier and lowers blood pressure naturally.
How do people who are busy with housework and work find time to exercise? The benefits of daily exercise are cumulative. For example, if you’re on the bus to work, get off one stop early and walk the rest of the way. Or when you go to lunch, take 5-6 minutes up and down the stairs. After work and dinner, go for a walk. This way, you can accumulate about 30 minutes of exercise at the end of the day.
You can also “ground” negative energy in your body by wearing only soft cloth shoes or socks, or by walking barefoot on grass or dirt. In addition to doing so, it also increases the blood supply in the brain.With sufficient oxygen, blood pressure naturally drops.
2. Relieve high blood pressure caused by stiff shoulders by tapping 3 points
A stiff neck and shoulders is another condition that contributes to high blood pressure.
For example, many office workers spend hours in front of their computer screens in a “turtleneck” position throughout the day, having to sit still. When you get home, you’ll find yourself lying on the couch again, lying motionless, or turning your head toward your phone, which can make your neck and shoulders stiffer even worse, which can lead to high blood pressure.
I had another patient who went to the hospital for an examination, and his blood pressure was close to 200 each time. After taking all the antihypertensive drugs prescribed by the doctor, he felt sick all the time, whether it was cholesterol-lowering drugs, cholesterol-lowering drugs, or blood pressure-lowering drugs. Vasodilation. He then helped me stretch his carotid artery and the high blood pressure problem went away.
There are pressure points and chize (LU5) pressure points for stiff neck and shoulders. Lightly press the Chise points on your left and right hands for 3 to 5 minutes every day, and shake your head while pressing. This will improve blood circulation in the neck, allowing blood from the carotid artery to flow to the brain. With an adequate blood supply, blood pressure naturally falls.
There are two points to promote blood circulation besides chize. One is Zusanli (ST 36) and the other is Sanyinjiao (SP 6).
The tapping method can also be used for those who cannot press the points accurately. By hitting the upper part of the pot and hitting the lower part, the position of the pot can be hit accurately, and the effect is outstanding.
Note: Pregnant women should not massage or pat the Sanyin Node.
3. Cold hypertension – warm up your body
Cold weather can also increase blood pressure.
During the cold season, the blood vessels around the body constrict, or narrow, and constrict in order to keep warm. This reduces blood flow around the body, causing much of the blood to stay in large vessels, leaving blood pressure high.
what to do? Wear warm layers of clothing and drink warm beverages. This returns narrowed vessels to their normal width, allowing blood to flow evenly to all other vessels and lowering blood pressure without the use of antihypertensive drugs.
